Frequently Asked Questions

List Owners:

How do I get a new list?

If you need a new list, please contact the UAMS Technical Support Center at 501-686-8555.

How do I manage my list?

You can manage membership on your list by using these commands:

subscribe / unsubscribe list-name email-address This command will subscribe or unsubscribe the person on your list.

Example: "subscribe MyList jdoe@uams.edu"

Note: You may use the optional command "Silent" in the command to prevent a confirmation message from being sent to the member when you subscribe / unsubscribe them.
You must be the owner of the list to prevent the confirmation message
from being sent.

Example: "silent subscribe MyList jdoe@uams.edu"

How do I get a list of the membership on my list?

members list-name This command will return a list of members on your list. You must be the owner of the list to use this command.

Can my list be restricted so that only the members
can send to it?

When a list is created, it is restricted to receive mail only from
the members of that list and the list owner. This restriction can
be expanded to include members of other lists, such as other classes.
This will allow other list members to email your list members.

Can someone subscribe to my list without my
approval?

No. Anyone can request to subscribe to your list, but you will
receive an email when they request a subscription. You will then
have to approve it by following the instructions in the approval email.

Can I add non-UAMS addresses to my list?

You may add any non-UAMS (external) addresses to your list by using
the subscribe command. The list owner is responsible for the
content that is sent to the list, so please be aware of the information
being sent to your lists.

Will other people be able to see the membership on
my list?

No. This information is restricted to the list owner only.

How do I prevent junk mail from being sent to my
list?

The lists are designed to receive mail only from list members unless
the owner allows non-member email to be sent to the list. This
should prevent junk mail from getting to your list.

List Subscribers:

How do I subscribe to a list?

subscribe / unsubscribe list-name This command will allow you
to subscribe or unsubscribe on a list.

Example: "subscribe ListName"

The email address that you use to send the "subscribe" command will
be the address that is subscribed to the list. This can be any
address (including external non-UAMS addresses).

Your request will be sent to the list owner for
approval.

You
will receive a confirmation of your request and a welcome message after
the list owner approves your request.

Note: A request to unsubscribe
from a list will be done instantly and does not require the list owner's
approval.

the UAMS Technical Support Center at 501-686-8555.
